the house speaker sort of punted that question from the reporter. >> yeah, the issue is as the obama administration found out, you can lay out your roadmap, but then you need the insurers and the other players to head on that road with you. and insurers really need to figure out what the risk is. and while they are not expecting that things are going to get upended here for 2017, the clock is actually ticking now for 2018. take a look at the roadmap a little bit of where we need to go. during the first quarter right now this is when insurers start to prepare their rates. they look at their plans, they look at their network, they start getting things together for 2018 because they've got to submit those rates under the law by the beginning of may. and if you recall last year, that was when things kind of started to blow up. united health said we've got such big losses we're not going to take part in 2017. and everybody else had to rejigger. so things over the summer were fairly rocky as people tried to figure out what things they're going to participate in, what ones they weren't and

the beginning of the obama administration. remember, he promised during the 2008 campaign to renegotiate nafta. well, that didn't happen. and when he was trying to manage the stimulus package and economic recovery, he did a lot of coordination with other countries. and they used a lot of rhetoric to say we were not going to get into trade protectionism, that would be dangerous for the recovery. >> he hasn't pushed card check and some of the other things that the unions felt they would be getting. is this sort of a make good on that? and is it enough? >> well, that's the question, it could be a make good. but if it's a make good, can you control it? once you set that spark, how much can you keep that under control. i think we've got the g-20 coming up in a week when the chinese and the other industrial countries of the world are going to be meeting in pittsburgh. and i think this is a real challenge for the president. if it's a political gesture and the chinese have responded in kind with the political gesture, how do you make
